We have run the 9 inch Hoosier for the last 6-7 years. We get 75-80 runs out of a set. Other folks claim to get 150 runs. We have tried very short burnouts, but that did not change the tire life for us.

Our 60 foot times remain the same throughout the life of the tire. On one set of tires we ran them a bit too long. After a pass there was a one inch wide stripe of cord showing in the middle of the tire. OOPS! 60 foot time on that run was same as before.

For reference our car runs 11.0s with mid 1.40 60 foot times.
